San Francisco Chronicle
It is not merely a thriller but a shocker. It will separate hard-core Jet Li followers from the fair-weather fans. - 75
Miami Herald
The Hollywood action genre, sliding into a lazy dependence on computer-generated fakery, needs this authentic kick to the head delivered by Jet Li. - 70
Los Angeles Times
The non-fighting parts of Kiss of the Dragon are, despite the presence of co-star Bridget Fonda, completely non-compelling. It's a proud convention in films like this for fans to mark time during exposition, waiting patiently for the action to start up again, and Kiss is very much in that tradition. - 67
Austin Chronicle
This is a garish, rocket-fueled slice of popcorn mayhem, and the perfect antidote to this summer's limp action lineup. - 63
New York Daily News
The action scenes, including one on that tourist sightseeing staple, the Bateau Mouche, were directed by Cory Yuen with some creative touches, including a hail of chopsticks during a fight in a restaurant kitchen. - 60
New Times (L.A.)
Will probably please hard-core action fans who have become inured to plot idiocies, but it remains a terrible waste of talent. - 50
TV Guide Magazine
The story is formulaic, but this brutal, fast-paced thriller makes excellent use of Li's martial arts prowess. - 40
Washington Post
Offers just about a kill a minute, but less than a thrill a minute.
